Crazy, we’ve all be here longer than @Striiker has been alive...

 

[WestrnPhlyr]

Wow, I'm gone for a few hours and I when I get back the forum is redecorated.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Welp. Time to get the ark out again.

Are we back to the way it was???

Sweet

Back in Black!

Back in Black!

Disappointed I didn’t come up with that myself

No Russia?

No Russia?

Russians post more weakly when they read North American websites before they are ready. Better to keep reading Russian sites.

Hate myself for it but just signed up for ESPN+ so I can watch Serie A,

Anyone else have it? I have a couple questions if anyone does.

They don’t want to be reminded when a Russian player goes to the CHL.

It's included in the US data.

What you did there, don’t think I don’t see it.

So my laptop won’t “wake up” from hibernation when I power on. Tried a hard restart and still have a black screen. This has been going on for a couple weeks now, but it eventually turns on if I unplug it (sometimes after several tries). Today nothing is working. Any suggestions?

Take out the battery and hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge it? If there's a CMOS reset button on the bottom to do the same, you could try that.

Cmon guy. I’m trying to avoid that. I think it’s still under warranty anyway so I could send it back to the company to look at but I’m trying to avoid that. I really just want to chuck it through a wall right now.

I figured that was the next step. I gotta find a screw driver now.

I think this is a Windows 10 issue btw. I tried a restore last week and it didn’t help.

Definitely do this because it's worth a shot, but it sounds like the Power Supply is going or has a loose connection. Check into the Power Settings as well. Different profiles for plugged/unplugged, etc.

Once you get it back in a working state, make sure windows and all drivers are fully up to date and look for any bios updates that may be available. Sounds software/firmware related to me.

I don’t know if unplugging and powering on was a coincidence or not. It didn’t work every time but I figured I’d try it and it worked a few times. Not helping today.

Taking the battery out didn’t help.

I think so too. Unfortunately I’ve been trying to get this thing up for about 3 hours and I’m not getting anything.

Did you try starting it with the battery removed? Don't try this if your location is prone to power surges and you're not behind a UPS.

Try setting every Power Setting to High Performance too if it ever boots again.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Did you try starting it with the battery removed?

Yup. Nothing.

You can also take out the battery and the CMOS battery. Taking out the CMOS will default the BIOS but it may help.

I appreciate the help but I think this is above my pay grade.
